"The rhythm of the body, the melody of the mind, and the harmony of the soul, create the symphony of life."
– BKS Iyengar, Yoga Guru

"Though man demarcates body, mind and
soul, it is impossible to pinpoint where the
body ends and the mind begins, or where
the mind ends and the Self begins.
They are interrelated and interwoven by
the string of intelligence."

– BKS Iyengar, Yoga Guru

"What a piece of work is man. How noble in reason. How infinite in faculty. In form and moving how express and admirable. In action, how like an angel. In apprehension, how like a God. The beauty of the world. The paragon of animals. And yet, to me, what is this quintessence of dust. Man impresses not me..."

– William Shakespeare, from Hamlet

"But let's broaden the discussion, because it's not just about acupuncture," Dr. Oz says. "The reason I'm so excited and passionate about alternative medicine is … [because it is] the globalization of medicine."

"Alternative medicines," Dr. Oz says, "deal with the body's energy—something that traditional Western medicine generally does not. We're beginning now to understand things that we know in our hearts are true but we could never measure," he says. "As we get better at understanding how little we know about the body, we begin to realize that the next big frontier … in medicine is energy medicine. It's not the mechanistic part of the joints moving. It's not the chemistry of our body. It's understanding for the first time how energy influences how we feel."

– Dr. Mehmet Oz on Oprah, Feb 13, 2007

"Most psychologists treat the mind as disembodied, a phenomenon with little or no connection to the physical body. Conversely physicians treat the body with no regard to the mind or the emotions. But the body and mind are not separate, and we cannot treat one without the other.

Research has shown that the body can and must be healed through the mind and the mind can and must be healed through the body."

– Candace Pert, author of Molecules of Emotion

"Unless we know the value of other religious traditions, it is
difficult to develop respect for them. Mutual respect is the
foundation of genuine harmony. We should strive for a spirit
of harmony, not for political or economic reasons, but rather
simply because we realize the value of other traditions."

– His Holiness Tenzin Gyatso the 14th Dalai Lama

"In every culture and in every medical tradition before ours, healing was accomplished by moving energy."

– Albert Szent-Gyorgyi, Nobel Laureate in Medicine

"Nothing endures but change… it is in changing that we find purpose."

– Heracleitus, 6^th Century BC Philosopher from Ephesus

"The greatest discovery of my generation is that human beings can alter their lives by altering their attitudes of mind."

– William James

"The doctor of the future will give no medicine but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet and in the cause and prevention of disease."

– Thomas Edison
